5.1.6 REPLACING THE GLASS
GASKET AND/OR THE
GLASS
It is a good idea to replace the
glass gasket when the door gasket
is replaced. The gasket is flat,
adhesive-backed,
woven
fibreglass. Remove the glass
retaining screws (A) and clips (B)
then the metal frames (C) that
hold the glass (D) to the door
frame (E). Lift out the glass (D) and
pull off the old gasket. Do the
same for the other door. This is a
good time to clean the glass
thoroughly.
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the
paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the
end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the
gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and
rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place
it. Continue until you get to the start and trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the
glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass
carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of broken
door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.
